Here’s What You Weren’t Waiting For: Disney Princess Porn

Just yesterday, I wrote about Disney princesses depicted as dudes. Today, they’re depicted as porn stars. Those damn princesses are everywhere. They’re invading our psyches! They’re taking over our eyeballs!

Visual artist Dillon Boy has created a series of artworks entitled Dirtyland, depicting the princesses as sexy, naked women in some kind of alternative pin-up universe. Here’s what Dillon Boy says about the impetus to sex up the fairytale heroines:

I think it has something to do with how we are conditioned as children. Everything is sweet and make-believe in the beginning but then our innocence is soon lost along the way.

These Princesses are already beautiful little cartoons but I just had to take it to the next level. I wanted to transform these celebrated and graceful little ladies into illustrious full blown sex symbols.

I kept it soft for the most part and somewhat tasteful but its naughty in nature no matter how you slice it. But It’s not like they are all wrapped in bondage or anything. Maybe some of you wanted that? Perverts.

Like Juliaover at The Gloss, I don’t find these images particularly shocking. But I know that there are plenty of people out there who will, parents or others who will rage and wring their hands because an artist has sexed up beloved children’s characters. I did something similar last week, in fact. But there’s a big difference between the Powerpuff Girls being shown as grown-up sexy women and the Disney princesses depicted as porn stars.

First, there’s the audience. Obviously, Dillon Boy didn’t create these images for children. He created them for adults, unlike the Powerpuff Girl artist. And, the Disney princesses are already sex symbols, no matter how much we would like to believe that they are supposed to be sexless, vanilla cartoon characters. They’re specifically drawn to be beautiful and alluring, attractive and indicative of society’s standards for women. As Julia says,

“Even fully clothed, they still sell the basic idea that women are pretty, dressed up creatures to be looked at, doted upon, and saved, which really isn’t all that different from any woman treated as a sex object.”

The Powerpuff Girls, however, are supposed to represent girl power and independence. They look like little weird bumblebees. I wouldn’t even know they were girls if they weren’t called girls.

But back to the princesses. Dillon Boy says he knows the images are controversial, but that he hasn’t had too many outraged reactions, at least yet. He also says he has quite a few customers that actually work for Disney, so maybe the Magic Kingdom has less mind control over their employees than I thought.

I am trying to put my finger on why this bothers me in a deep and introspective way. It’s not the pictures themselves–they are well done, and I am a fan of pin ups, personally. So I think it’s the juxtaposition of these characters from my childhood, who were always portrayed as innocent and timeless, appearing so sexualized. Hmmmm. This bears some reflection, I think…

Think of it as real life Disney Characters… like Hannah Montana, who fits your initial reflection of Disney Characters. And look what happened to her when she grew up.

Kay_Sue

Hannah Montana wasn’t part of my childhood though. She doesn’t make me uncomfortable, she makes me angry, because my stepdaughters looked up to her. And then that causes a whole other feminist quandary for me! Jeesh!

Robotic Arms Dealer

I just realized, does Snow White have a muffin top?

Kay_Sue

If she did, would it matter?

And also: thank you for getting “Do You Know the Muffin Man?” stuck in my head. No idea why that was my internal response to your comment, except maybe the amount of cold medicine I am on today (for a cold, not fun), but…it was.

My eldest brought whatever this hellspawn of a virus is home from school. To that, all I can say is: Thanks, Obama.

Robotic Arms Dealer

That’s why you should have home schooled.

Although, Homecoming sounds gross in that context

Not even a drawing of a drawing is safe from the female body microscope.

Robotic Arms Dealer

Oh, don’t get me started with “Real Life Barbie”

David Joseph Manger

I’m so glad you mentioned her. I need help please. I can’t figure out how to let the air out of mine and she won’t fit in my closet while inflated..I even bit her on the neck and still i can’t deflate her..Might be the swelled head syndrome again..I don’t want to hurt this unique individual either. Mine is super rare and sought after by many men and women alike worldwide.Mine does not speak..Gotta be worth a fortune..Who needs money though when you have riches such as this….

David Joseph Manger

Nor should it be. As a woman you know damn well you love it. To be revered as an object of beauty is a hell of an uplift in ones’ spirit of mind..Over the years we know how it swelled the heads of many women..Men too for that matter..Pun definitely intended!

David Joseph Manger

A muff in where?

David Joseph Manger

I agree.So get your hand out of your pants and give it some thought please…Then again does a cartoon really need to be thought about so deeply?.With Your childhood memories still intact ,let it ride as an adult and continue enjoying the art in a different light..The artist has done his job though..People are looking and talking about the renditions regardless.All publicity is good stuff in that business!

Kay_Sue

PS–I know some people may be off work, but it might be a good idea to add a NSFW to the header? For people that may be Mommish-surfing in an office or other setting that they would rather wait to view this?

Sparky

Don’t you think the word “porn” already covers it? I thought NSFW was only necessary when the title didn’t make it clear what you were going to be seeing…

Kay_Sue

Meh, might not have expected those particular pictures. It never hurts to make it explicit, just in case. I clicked on Drawer Porn once…guess what? It, sadly, wasn’t porn at all. *sighs*

SloppyDick

Sounds like Kay just clicks on anything that has the word ‘porn’ in it. Maybe you should just stop looking at porn while you’re at work Kay_Sue. Wait till you can get home with your Buzzin’ Bob!

Anon68

Seriously?? You need an NSFW warning to know that “Disney Princess Porn” might be different from “Drawer Porn”?? SMDH. If you’re at work, why are you surfing ANYTHING with the word porn in the title? Why take the chance? Companies have Internet policies for a reason.

Just Google the article when you get home, or on your smartphone. Geez.

I don’t think sexualizing the princesses is nearly as creative as most of the other new versions of the princesses that have been popping up left and right. Although I think they are well done, taking their cloths off and putting them in a sexy pose is barely a stretch of the imagination.

K.

If parents are scandalized by this, it makes me wonder about their sex lives. Or if they live under rocks.

Been there, done that, bought a million naughty Ariel costumes.

pixie

I think these are actually kind of cool and well done artistically. I especially like that Snow White has a closer-to-average figure and that Mulan’s is what would be (sort of) expected from a woman who is more athletic. I know there’s the association with the innocence of childhood memories with the princesses, but these aren’t targeted towards kids.
They’re better than any other porno Disney princess images I’ve ever seen (I was 15, bored, and just discovered rule 34 and how to take off google safe search) in terms of artistry and they’re a lot more tame.

AugustineThomas

Yep! We’re all slutty Americans who love sex more than life itself. AM I right Pixie?!
NOTHING is better than dirty sex and other cheap pleasures, NOTHING–not even kids, who deserve to be murdered in the womb if they get in the way of more cheap sex!!!

The only thing that kinda bothers me about this is that it’s just the women. If you’re going to porn up Disney, give us the guys too!

Heather C

I seem to be the internet fairy the last few days. But.
Bippity Boppity hubba-hubba.

meteor_echo

Yup. Disney male characters as eye candy is always good stuff :>

Heather C

There are more of them, this is just the one I could find with the most on one file. The one of Captain Hook is probably worth mentioning.

Lulu

I love that their bodies are so realistic. Personally I find the skinny minnie waists and pushed up breasts more offensive than their bodies drawn nude.

meteor_echo

As an artist: I spy well-done anatomy and perspective/foreshortening. Cinderella’s nipples are done wrong though, they shouldn’t be parallel to each other. Here’s an example of a similar pose: http://www.artsforge.com/boris/fairybubble.jpg

Also, the drawings are kinda oversaturated by scribble textures.

Overall, I kinda liked them, but they could’ve been prettier IMO.

Angel

They look way more like regular nude models than porn stars. They’re just naked, they’re not participating in any sexual activity.

Kitsune

I’m breaking out of lurking mode to comment and considering how nice everyone here seems I feel bad that my first comment is mean but these are not well drawn. The scribble effect is being used to cover the issues with drawing hands and the rest of the anatomy, particularly the breasts, is all off. I might just be being fussy because I actually did a similar theme for my final project for my figure drawing class a couple years ago. I did fairy tale princesses dressed as scantily clad versions of themselves in modern situations of their story, for example Snow White passed out in a bed with a red solo cup. Even in my art class people had a very strong reaction to sexualized nude vs plain nude so I do appreciate the point the artist was going for, I just wish the drawings themselves were executed a bit better.

Liz Bonzo

your comment is stupid. He’s a great artist and he knows what he’s doing. why don’t you go on to Dylan boy and see all his work is a great artist.

Vera

Calling someone’s comment “stupid” is childish and immature. People have other opinions, you know.

whiteroses

Something about this just grosses me out. I have no idea why. It just does.

gothicgaelicgirl

I kinda dig em lol I’d totally have a framed one of Mulan in my bedroom.
Then have to explain to the kids that “she just got out of the shower”….

Liz Bonzo

I don’t see anything wrong with these. I can tell you one thing there is nothing wrong with artist I can vouch for him I’ve known him since he was a kid he’s a normal human being who does wonderful artwork maybe people should stopshcoucriticizing him and check out all of his work if these were guys would people be complaining. There’s a lot worse going on in this world. One less thing to complain about. People should pick and choose our battles this is one I don’t see worth complain about.

freakpenislover

way hot

WHAT??

I think you all are really just a bunch of disgusting pervs yourselves! This is sick… porn is very damaging to everyone…eventually. How people here are remarking that this is wonderful is beyond me. I’m not a prude…I’m not religious, but seriously… do some research into what we’re doing by saying this is fine!

WHAT??

You want to question my sex life because I find not only these just plain wrong but your comments as well??? I have four children… been havin da sex…so my sex life is fine.

Speling Knotzis Suk

Everything from cartoons to food is sexualized today.
Get over yourself.

Alan Hale

This isn’t new. I first saw porn versions of Disney princesses 12 years ago on the internet. There were/are whole websites that feature this theme of art work: Family Guy characters, Bart and Lisa Simpson together, Ariel going down on Belle….. just another day in internet porno land – the most twisted place on earth

David Joseph Manger

Well done and not one of them has given any back talk in the last thirty minutes.I think you nailed it. Great artistic talent. Kids don’t look at this stuff and if they do their parents should give them a smack if they are under 21…I had dad’s penthouse when i was six..This won’t hurt any kids..Give em a reason to smack that thang!
